We accept applications for Grades Pre-K to 8at any time of the school year.The application fee is $10 per student.

Our families love us! Most re–enroll for the next school year, so limited space is available in most classes for the 2016-17 school year. Don’t miss out — complete your application online today! Computers and staff are available to help—please call Mary Holmes if you need assistance.

Aftercompleting your application, please call the school to schedule a tour, placement testing (Grades 2-8), and an interview with the Principal. During your meeting with school representatives, you will be given a good-faith estimate of your tuition. Unless there is a change in information you provide on your application, or you fail to complete the financial aid information on-line, you can expect your monthly tuition payments to match your estimate.
